What matters the most in grappling and MMA is how crazy you can go, not skill, technique, or athleticism

i just never went to gi jits classes so I was never awarded any kind of belt :( there's no coherent advancement system in no-gi grappling unless you're paying for that one dude's programming and while he's really good I refuse to learn techniques like "the retard hold"

going bananas is a crazy good strategy when faced with someone who doesn't want it as much as you (no it isn't)

that's pretty good! brazillian jiu jitsu just has white/blue/purple/black but it's also an insanely esoteric cultural touchstone for the families who are "allowed" to distribute belts and certificates that they prefer it that way

Anybody with a black belt is allowed to issue belts and also you forgot brown and most ppl do stripes as well

Can't believe I forgot about brown belts. But also the family or system you study under to achieve a black belt has a big effect on whether you're taken seriously at a national level if you/your team are competing against other organizations. Most people have figured out that training is training but there's a still a cottage industry of X Gracie and X mma guy black belts whose students and expertise get more respect and attention within bjj and grappling circles.

The thing prioritized in handing out belts should be merit, skill, adherence to a philosophy if necessary, etc., but every school has different criteria for what a brown blue etc. belt should be able to demonstrate. There's no Common Core State Standards for grappling instruction, and the variance or perceived variance between schools matters to people at the highest level

I think it's cool and anime-like that there are martial arts dynasties. I wonder what their secret technique is.

i mean basically nobody takes GB seriously because of the financial and instructional model of their gyms but they seem to churn out really good grapplers who win lots of international tournaments in spite of people constantly making fun of them for being a lame gym that sucks

There's no point denying he has one, we all know it. The best response is to acknowledge but also denigrate it
